The Halting Problem - Tapa blanda

Cohlmeyer, J: Halting Problem

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - From the back of the book: Should we really be doing this That question will haunt you as you read The Halting Problem.After an uneventful career as a computer programmer, Brett Phillips has his life transformed by taking on a new challenge: becoming an Operator for Pixie, the first sentient General Artificial Intelligence program. With a looming deadline and a demanding Angel Investor calling the shots, Brett's personal life is upended in the cruelest way at the worst possible time.And something does not seem right with Pixie either.From the author: Do you like science fiction books with completely unrealistic technologies Awful storytelling Bland, uninteresting characters Do you like gigantic laser battles in space Stilted dialogue Predictable endings Galaxy-obliterating death weapons No Great! I don't either, and that means you may like my book, The Halting Problem. The Halting Problem is a contemporary science fiction book that explores real life issues with General Artificial Intelligence (GAI). The technology is probably a bit more advanced than currently known, but definitely realistic. The characters are interesting and well-written. There are no lasers or death weapons, but there is hot wax and an envelope dagger. Most of the book takes place in Chattanooga, TN which, as of April 2019, is not in outer space.This is no dystopian, sci-fi mega-tropey book either, which you may find odd, since most things suck nowadays. Instead, my story explores possible real-world issues with GAI, and what you will find is what I found; reality may end up being perfectly terrifying as well. The Halting Problem is part sci-fi, part dark comedy, part mystery, and part drama, with a sprinkling of existentialism throughout. - J. Nº de ref. del artículo: 9781733978200
